That is the second negative reference you have made about cw operators on 
160.  I don't see why you have a problem with them.

I take it that what you would like to do is run off this "small sociopathic 
group of CW only on 160 meter dinosaur mentality operators" and use their 
part of the band for your digital operations.  There are a lot of cw ops on 
160 that have been there for a long time and have every right to be there. 
There's some pretty sharp cookies operating cw on 160 meters that know a lot 
about propagation, and they have learned it by operating there.  That is a 
lot different from learning it by studying computer models and fancy 
software.  Operating cw on 160 meters is a lot of fun and I enjoy it very 
much, so I guess I'm one of those "dinosaurs."  73
